About this Article

Yet another “Miller” appears on the back of a local hockey jersey. This one, though, also has a blonde ponytail extending from the blue helmet. Shannon Miller, 15, a sophomore at Libertyville is in her second season skating for the co-op Lake Forest Scouts, comprised of players who attend Libertyville, Stevenson, Deerfield, Woodlands Academy and Lake Forest. Miller and senior forward Bridget Roche are the lone Libertyville representatives. “Many of us have been playing together for a long time, so we work really well together. We know each other’s strengths and weaknesses,” said Miller, a left-handed shooting forward. “I have played with many of the girls since first-grade, so it’s almost like we don’t go to different schools.”
